What Is This Tool?

This tool converts length values from the historic English unit link (li), used mainly in land surveying, into twips, a precise typographic unit suitable for digital layout and typesetting.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the length value in links (li) you want to convert.
  • Select the source unit as link (li) if required.
  • Choose twip as the target unit for conversion.
  • Click convert to instantly see the equivalent twip value.

Key Features

  • Converts from the historic link (li) unit to the typographic twip unit.
  • Based on a defined conversion rate: 1 link equals 11,404.8 twips.
  • Supports applications in historical surveying and modern digital typography.

Examples

  • 2 link (li) converts to 22,809.6 twips.
  • 0.5 link (li) converts to 5,702.4 twips.

Common Use Cases

  • Translating historic surveying distances from old land deeds into modern digital layouts.
  • Reconstructing property boundaries from cadastral records using typographic units for mapping.
  • Designing layouts in desktop publishing where precise sub-point measurements are needed.
  • Integrating archival surveying data into GIS and graphic software that use twips.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure input values correspond to historic link measurements for accurate conversion.
  • Use the tool to bridge archival land survey units with modern digital typography needs.
  • Be aware of possible rounding when converting large-scale historic measures into fine typographic units.

Limitations

  • The link unit is obsolete and appears mostly in archival or specialized surveying contexts.
  • Twips are niche units primarily used for digital typography and GUI coordinates.
  • Conversion accuracy can be affected by rounding errors between large land measures and tiny typographic units.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a link (li) unit?
A link is a historic English length used in surveying, equal to 1/100 of Gunter's chain, approximately 0.66 feet or 0.201168 meters.

What is a twip unit used for?
A twip is a typographic unit equal to 1/20 of a point, commonly used in digital typography and GUI layouts for precise spacing.

Why convert from link to twip?
This conversion helps translate historic land measurement data into units compatible with modern digital typesetting and GUI design.

Key Terminology

Link (li)
A historic English length unit used in surveying, equal to 1/100 of Gunter's chain, about 0.201168 meters.
Twip
A typographic unit equal to 1/20 of a printer's point, used for precise layout and typesetting measurements.
Gunter's Chain
A measuring device consisting of 100 links, historically used in land surveying.
